Balat is located on the European side of Istanbul, in the old city on the historic peninsula, on the western bank of the Golden Horn. It was historically the centre of the Jewish community in Istanbul and lies next to the Greek quarter, Fener.
In 1985, Balat was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the Historic Areas of Istanbul, and in the late 1990s and early 2000s was the subject of a number of controversial renovation projects.
